unknow99 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Do not ignore your fate, people. It is gonna happen! Think about it : if you drive a car straight to a wall, do you think that ignoring the wall will make it disappear? Nnnno. :] When you walk on the street, you look in the direction you go... I've chosen to look where I will go... Everyone is afraid of death. We just ignore it. The suffering & the agony, yes. For the rest, it depends...

Commander_Pancakes Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 The how you feel about death is only dependent on your mood. One day you may wake up feeling invincible and not give a damn about the fact that one day you may die, and the following night you might feel depressed knowing that your life may eventually come to an end. Having said that, the only person that truly doesn't worry about death is the person who has come to terms with its eventual arrival and has lived his life to the fullest. Just go for a walk.

OverlordMcGeek Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I do. The fact that our brains will rot away is what gets me. Not being able to no longer form even a single thought for an eternity fucks up my psychi. If you have ever passed out or been in a coma then you already know how death "feels". One second doing something, the other on a bed with minutes or even hours completley gone without a single fraction of knowing that you existed. That is why I propose to people to go to the most haunted places in the world and just spend a night. Know that if something does happen(not talking about crap falling over and sort-of voices) then we at least get prolonged existance as some type of energy after our bodies fall apart.

MagPrime Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'm not scared of it. The idea that I'll simply stop existing is hard for me to wrap my mind around for some reason but I'm not scared of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be just like when you were some kind of early foetus, I guess. I'm not scared of it.

You won't stop existing, as long as someone will remember about you... :) You'll still exist in their mind (with a good image, hopefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FruntlineXtreme Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Nope. It is called Necrophobia. If there is a word on it, that means someone else must have it too. Assuming you didn't come up with the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-FV-Metheria Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 If you fear about dying, why not figure a way to make yourself immortal? Then you don´t need to fear about death anymore since you just can´t die. However, you might want to make sure you stay in one piece, getting chopped or blown up to pieces might be exceptionally horrible. Well that brings up the question of what is considered immortality. Could transcending to a purely digital form be considered such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtowin Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I can rest easy after deleting my browser history and secret folder. Otherwise, I'm scared that when I die they are going to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrashSpider Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I'm not scared of death, I only wonder how I will meet 'em. This^, the very concept of it doesn't make me lose sleep over it, in fact I welcome it at the age of what 60, maybe even at a younger age perhaps? Although I what I do fear in relation to death is when every family and friend I ever knew just died and am the only one left, alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakcal Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Death is pretty scary. The concept of being in nothing is pretty hard to grasp, at least for my feeble mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane_Intelligence Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Well that brings up the question of what is considered immortality. Could transcending to a purely digital form be considered such? I consider that as making a copy of yourself. Even though it has all your memories and emotions and thinks itself as real one, it´s still a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgax Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 My fear is similar to Joker's from Batman series, being forgotten by those who care or at very least know me. As long as people remember you or carry your legacy, you are immortal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.ToastForPresident Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I used to terrified of dying, until I made one simple discovery. Everything that you have done before and later in your life won't stop existing because you died. You may have forgotten they have happened or mis-remebered them, but that doesn't change the fact that it did happen at some point. That is how I got over my fear of death. The truth is that no matter what happens in the future, that does not mean the past never existed. You, me and everyone else in the world exists in the now, and that is all that matters.

Xhos Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 What if we made a communal effort to find the cure to death? We could do some research together and post our findings! I have a few leads: Telomeres (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telomere) Hayflick Limit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayflick_limit) Cryosleep Yeah...

I had a thought about that, and I have a guess that when science has advanced to the point that we can live for a very, very long time (as in: Centuries and such), we would in fact crave death even more than fear it.

What I really want is for Immortality tech to be invented before my grandparents kick the bucket. The thing I fear more than my own death is the death of family members.
